In our home we have this framed picture of Christ.
Grace & Truth by Simon Dewey
Jared and I browsed for days together to decide which depiction of Christ we wanted to have as the central image of Him in our home. This picture showed the love and understanding that we know our Saviour has for us. His face is strong and one to trust to lift your burdens. It has changed the tone of our home, in fact with all the changes we have made, it has made our house feel like a home.
Christmas, as you all know is about the birth of Christ. Christmas is not my favorite holiday, Easter is. Mainly because I love the focus on the Atonement at that time of year, the season of rebirth. This year I wanted to make Christmas just as beautiful by getting to know Christ more, for reals this time.
Often we say that Christmas is that time about Christ, or we need to put more Christ in Christmas, but I think we often fall a little short of trying. I wanted to find something that would fill the whole month of December as I try to get to know my Saviour and grow closer to him.
I contemplated for a long time to figure out what would be the best thing to do. It suddenly hit me during church and I decided to read and study Jesus the Christ this month. Since I have left social media for the remainder of the year, I will have plenty time to do this.
I find that when we rid the negative influences from our lives, we need to fill those with something positive, and something eternal, such as the love of Christ.
So Say We All
